Q How does Korean medicine treatment for pediatric immunity and respiratory conditions proceed?
A Treatment follows four stages: replenishing Defensive Qi → strengthening Lung and Spleen → seasonal prevention → constitutional maintenance.
Detailed Answer
Stage 1: Assess the degree of Lung Qi deficiency and Spleen-Stomach weakness. Stage 2: Replenish Defensive Qi and Lung Qi with a Yuping Feng San-based formula while relieving acute symptoms. Stage 3: Restore Spleen-Stomach function to strengthen the foundation for Acquired Qi production. Stage 4: Maintain constitutional health through pre-seasonal preventive supplementation and lifestyle correction. Total treatment duration of 6–12 months is recommended.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, the goal for each stage is quantified as the number of cold episodes, and treatment progress is shared transparently with parents. Clear progress reporting increases the rate of treatment completion.
